Signs Found

[Stuart Thiessen]

All of the manual English systems had their origins in the 70's I  
believe. In a way, these signs from the 1920's are no more English in  
origin than to do the fingerspelling of JAN, FEB, MARCH. Language  
borrowing is a natural phenomenon especially for static things like  
dates, months, etc.

Thanks,

Stuart
